Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I have almost 15 years experience tutoring Viola, Violin and Piano. I have taught at Manuel Saumel elementary music school and Amadeo Roldan Music High School back in my native Havana, Cuba. I am always looking for new ways to engage the student with interactive games, and taking advantages of technology . In South Florida I have Taught at The Conservatory School of North Palm Beach, a public k-8 school, Teacher at Spanish River Christian School Violin afterschool program and Orchestra Conductor at John Leonard High School, teaching students from different ages, backgrounds and musical levels.

Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I believe my overall style in teaching music comes from my love of music and desire to help others achieve their musical goals in a way that is engaging, meaningful and fun. I have always believed in adding an element of fun to lessons. My band and choir students played games, performed for younger students in surprise concerts and had karaoke parties. In private lessons, students will play duets, sightread and use the IPad games and floor keyboard to help with note reading skills. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Organ Synthesizer Music Keyboard Electric Guitar
Anyone can learn to play music! I introduce the keyboard and mechanics of how an acoustic piano makes music. I show the student the musical alphabet and how that translates to written music, a line to a space is the next key up or down, skip a line or a space means you skip a key. One of the things that cause the most confusion is finding where the note is on the keyboard. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello
I will help foster excitement with the music styles that the student wants and tailer my teaching using what is preferred. I do not take the lazy way of teaching straight out of a book cover to cover. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I'm comfortable teaching students ages 4+ but prefer starting at 7. Most of the time I'll use John Thompson series adding knowledge of harmony, rhythm and scales. I tailor my lessons to specific interest/needs of the each student. Currently I'm writing my own methods (voice & piano) in a series of progresive books/videos. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar Fiddle Double Bass Music Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I typically use a combination of methods in the private lesson setting-method books, etude books, books for technique, solo repertoire, and pop/rock/jazz music and or charts for contemporary study. For beginners, I like Essential Elements 2000, Faber Method, Suzuki solo books, and easy pop music books. For more advanced students, I will incorporate advanced methods such as etude books/orchestral excerpts along with repertoire geared more towards polishing for recital or performance. Read More
Instruments: Piano
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
There are certain steps to take in order to practice more effectively. First, practice the music by measure, and cut the measure in half if you need to. The more you cut those difficult passages of music into smaller pieces the easier it would be to learn. Think, bite-size mini measures. (This also cuts practicing time up to 50 % so practice smarter not harder! Practicing slow = faster learning. If something is getting frustrating just stop and go to something else. It's better to practice another piece of music than to stop practicing all together!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You know your child is ready to start lessons if they bug you about it, you buy them the instrument, they start taking lessons and you don't have to bother them about practice! When a student doesn't give you a hard time about practice, you know they are ready to make the commitment to practice and learn their instrument. When they sit at the piano without you telling them to you know they have a passion for learning. And for younger kids such as toddlers and children ages 4- 6; when you see they look forward to lessons every week, they are ready to make the commitment to taking lessons.
When will I start to see results?
That's a really good question. The answer really depends on how much you put into this. Like anything in life, the more you commit, the more you get out of it. I've seen students take years and years to learn an instrument and I've seen students learn how to play the piano in two- five years. I've also seen students start playing a song in the first lesson! And then I have students come back to class with a lesson that hasn't been learned. This all depends on you. Practicing every week, coming to class prepared, being on top of your child's practice routine, all of these things are important.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes, I had a teacher that inspired me. Honestly, it was my piano teacher. Before I took piano, my older sister did. Every time I accompanied my sister to her piano classes, I used to love hearing her teacher play. It wasn't long until my mom asked her if I can play also and, I soon started taking piano lessons. I used to love coming to piano class, and going to recitals every year. I also liked taking my piano exams at the end of the year because that's when I got my trophies and certificate. I still have them, now they're in my piano studio!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose the piano because, If you can play the piano you can pretty much learn any instrument you want. The piano is the foundation of all of the instruments. Theory wise, you can also understand theory concepts much faster because you can literally see the theory concepts right in front of you. And of course, I love the sound. Another fun fact, it makes it really easy to write music too. When I'm not teaching I like to write music in the studio. What I also like about the piano is that you can also solo. You really don't need anyone else to play the melody or the harmony, the piano can do both!
